"How not to look like a banker"

"Banker chic can be described in so many ways: conservative, unimaginative, boring and, next week, downright dangerous. On Tuesday, the mere act of wearing a plain grey suit - be it from Savile Row or Reiss - anywhere within the confines of the London EC1-EC4 postcodes, will apparently be as provocative as donning a flamboyant matador's costume in a bullring, at least in the eyes of a G20 protester. So think the Metropolitan police, who have advised City workers to dress down on Tuesday and Wednesday to avoid being identified as bankers."
